thanks to jeffersoncody for recommending this great rural action flick with a terrific soundtrack (the action scene to credence clearwater revival's HEY TONIGHT was brilliant). man, NICK NOLTE was tough as nails and fighting fit. what a wonderful actor. TUESDAY WELD as the pill popping mom was very cute. i knew i had seen MICHAEL MORIARTY somewhere. he was in BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY as well. this is up there with MR.MAJESTYK, THE DEVIL'S REJECTS and CHARLEY VARRICK as one of the best rural action flicks. i liked many of the grand vistas and dusty roads presented in the film.

i am curious now about the novel DOG SOLIDERS. has anyone read it? is it worth reading?

(8/10)

One of the best Nolte performances and a great supporting cast. The ending is wonderfully emotional.
